A Hired Mans Romance.

4 dozen or SO years ago 4 young man
in Harrisburg was employed by u gentle
man as man of-all-work about the house.
He was Il comely youth as to face and
shape, and he was intelligent. There
was something in him above the mcnia!,
and, as subsequently transpirel, all that
he wanted was Il chance, and he would
&C up higher. 1t happened that IN the
gcrtlcman's house was u pretty daughter
(rtat twenty-two,, accomplished and gay.
quite a society Girl, but sensible for all
that. Seeing her every day, it WIS thc
most natural thilg in tn world FIR the
young fellow the hired man-to fail
in love with her, and one bright day he
lracci himself and told his love. But
tie girl was not looking with favor on

Prairie 0cqs Bring on q Crisis.

A fnanc al ers:s has been produced in

Last winter the Montana Legislature
offered 4 bounty Of ten cents for each
dead prairie dog. and five cents fer
each dead ground squirrel. The hunt

mails has since been frriouSls pursued.
Apparently business was duh in the Ter,
ritory. and a large part Of the popnla-
ton went into the bounty getting bust
ness. Up to date nearly .0o. 600 ground
squirrels ard 80, GOO prairie dogs have
been slaughtered, and more than 500
eco has been paid To the muIdcrcGS. All
the funds in the Treasury hayc gone for
bountias, and the territorial debt was
swiftly climbing on fle same account.
The supply Of ground squirrels AID prai,
ric dogs was still abundant, and bank

the Governor asked the Presidents per

Mud Or Taxes Which?
Communicated.

/
Mr.. EDIToR:-I intended to call to see
: you on business at your Office dav or so ago
but found it necessary to either procure
stills a boat or balloon in order to get to
your office, Mr.. Ankrim's store or the Post
| Office, or else risk chances of getting "stuck
in the mud"
turned back saying to myself, what a
'Mistaken Economy" it is for any town to
rob its treasury and pay off its debts to the
detrment Of all public improvements.
| am in favor of this town laying tiles
and using the money forjudicious improve
ments. Our charter limits our debt to
something like $1,000 and the rate to 5
mills which keeps us in moderate bounds.
And ] am in favor of putting the debt up to
that figure and the tax to the 5 mill rate and
using the money for what? Why for sensi-
BILE, judicious improvements. Expend it
prudenlly. economically and honestly. Then
we will have streets that will be credit to
our beautiful little village acknowledged
50 by all visitors) not have mud holes for
crossings and quag mres for driveways. A
burning shame and disgrace in the minds
of all who come into our limits upon we
the citizens Of our place. The policy Of
paying off the public debt and lowering the
treasury, at the expense of our reputation,
and good name n.eels with no commedation
at the hands of modern business men or
women either. A man might as we'll go
naked and starve his family to pay off
loan from neighbor who don't ask for the
money, or want it paid, it would be just as
sensible.
To be out of debt is often no sign of pros
perity and to be in debt is often sign of
wealth, and the sooner this town gets out
of its poverty and borrows some money,
puts up its taxes and fixes dozens of other
| things it needs, the sooner it will impr,ve
in scores of other directions and he some
thing better than it is; then if any private
citizen will paint up unpalnted places, pre-
serve the beautiful shade trees and plant
more, put up the front yard fences and
freshen them up with paint, clear out front
yards and have flowers in them instead of
rubbish, the village of Rising Sun even in
muddy seasons will not put the Sun to
blush.
TAXPAYER.
I'VE would love to take the oppo.
site side and give friend "Taxpayer'' q
tussle, but we can't do it. We have
been using the shovel to keep from
disappearing over head and ears ev-
cry day for a week. We suggest a
pontoon, portable pontoon for the
muddy season. 1t is not economy
to have mud knee deep in the streets,
but great loss to property and bus
mess of the place. The old methods
of dumping stones in the street will
never mend matters. 1t is matter
for astonishmcnt that people have
lived here q quarter of century in
apparent contentment to wade in mud
to the knees for two or three months
in the year.

More About the Road Question
Communicated.

| was much pleased with the suggestion
IN The last JOURNAL about road from the
Paper mill to Colora, also with the editor
ial remarks about it. IF such a thing
should be undertaken it eed not be under
stood by our neighbors of the Rising Sun,
as done in unkind rivalry to their growing
emporium. Each place is entitled to have
its principal approaches in permanent good
order.
The purpose to make thorough work of
improvement on the 3 leading roads to the
Sun is dictated by sound economy. With
little aid and intervention from the
County Commissioners, those more immed-
lately interested in Colora, may attend to
their home concerns in like manner.
a road to lead directly from the neigh
borhood of the paper mill to Colora is not
| new idea. The measure was sgitated a
few years ago, and petition presented to
the Commissioners for that object.
But as no one appeared to advocate or
urge it's approval, it was not acted on.
From the mill, near the mouth Of Stone
Run, the road that leads eastward into the
Harrisville road, has firm bed and is an
easy gradient. From its terminus to a
point in the road from Porter's Bridge to
Colora is but little more than half mile
and a portion of the latter road is already
we'll turnpiked.
Such road would be direct, laid on the
most available ground and it would le-
quire no great labor to put the new part
and short remaining section of the DID, in
good order.
1t would be very allowable enterprise
for some of our business men at Colora 70
put forward this undertaking for the pur-
pose of building up their trade. And it
were more than allowable for the managers
Of the Paper mill, and all persons living in
that quarter to try to open and maintain a
good road to the nearest railroad station,
which for them would be Colora.
But all this should not svert attention
from the roads we already have.
That leading south from Colora was on
sticky clay and very bad in the wet wealth.
er of spring. 1t is now stoned for three
fourths of mile. 1t should have slight
covering of gravel or powdered stone to
make it complete, but such as it is, its i'm
provement has cost the county nothing. The
appropriations for its repair haye been the
same they would have been, if all expend-
ed in dirt moving-that wonld have left the
roadto-day somewhat worse than it was 4
years ago.
understand that we have men ready to
take sections of Wallace road. running east
and west from the village and make them
better, but this will not exactly come und-
er the regulation awarding roads to the
lowest bidder.

WITH EMRRAOERY, INNOCENT.
The Counsel for BOSh Sides Dissat-

Names TO be Drawn From.

NEW YORK, Jnne 9-John Wander
bilt, the young man who is alleged TO
have embraced" Juror Hodson
Against his will, appeared in the Court
OF Oyer and Terminer this morning,
where ShsTp's trial is in progress.
Judge Barrett took the evidence under
consideration, and Vanderbilt's trial
was continued. This done, the matter
OF examining talesmen was continued.
At his examination Vanderbilt ad.
mitted that he made the remarks
ascribed to him, but made them ia an
ungusrded moment, not knowing he
WAS violating any Law. He bad simply
said, Don't be hard on the man."
He had no direct interest in the met
ter and did not even know Mr.. Sharp.
1t was simply foolish exclamation
without any criminal intent. Several
witnesses testified to the good charsc-
ter Of the accused.
Assistant District Attorney Eicoll.
who was present and represented the
people, was obliged to admit that there
was no evidence OF the dtf5ndent
having been mixed up in the matter
in the least.
After the examination of talesmPn
hid progressed at soma length, counsel
for the people and defense expressed
their dissatisfaction with the charac-
ter cf the jnry. Judge Barrett was
equally dissatisfied and directed that
1000 or 5000 names be placed in the
general panel to be drawn from.
Later the Commissioner Of Jurors
had lengthy conference with Judge
Barrett regarding the matter.
During the examination OF iurors
Mr.. MARITIME announced 70 counsel for
the defense that the grand inry had
dismissed the charge of embracery
agsinst George II. Warner, who had
talked with Juror Sutton.
The grand jury have indicted Geo.
W. Lynch. en- officer OF cue OF Sharp's
railroads, for embrscery in connection
with the trial. The jury remained in
complete when the hour of adjourn
ment arrived. AS the defense have
exhausted their twenty peremptory
challenges, there is bare possibility |
of the trial beginning tomorrow, though |

TIE COLLISION Ar SEA.
The Captains OF Both the Celtic and
Britannia Censured,

NEW YORK, June 9.-The decision
of the Naval Court, before Acting
Consul W. R. Hosre, was given today
in the matter Of the inquiry into the
causes of the collision Of the steam
ships Celtic snd Britannia. The court
very severely oensured Capt. Perry, OF
the Britannic, for running at such a
speed; for not giving distinctive whis-
ties TO the Celtic to show which way
she gave way and for not sounding
the fog whistle in the fog.
Capt. Irving, Of the Celtic, is simply
Censured for running at the rate OF
speed he did in such foggy weather.
The fading OF the court and the
evidence given before the court will
be forwarded by Consul Hoare under
seal to the London Board of Trade in
few days. All action by the Consul
here ceases. The court recommend
that more distinctive signals be adopt.
ed TO prevent collisions at sea.
